Teriyaki Pork loin with Vegetable Stir Fry

Tackled cooking a new cuisine for dinner tonight …Japanese !

I found this Teriyaki Vegetable Stir Fry kit from Taylor Farms at my local Walmart.. It helped me make dinner in a pinch ! Highly recommended.

According it it’s website it says it’s a It includes a vibrant blend of fresh kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, red cabbage, peas, and carrots paired with a delectable and light teriyaki sauce. I just love these stir-fry kits!

You can add what meat you like or none at all to keep it meat free .. So No rice or noodles is needed, it was that good on its own.

This how I prepared mine tonight

I like to cut the pork loin in strips and sauté it in canola oil, while the veggies are softening in a bit water.

Since there is so much sauce I like to add in just half of it to the meat first until t’s glossy , and and then mix it into the vegetables..

Where did Teriyaki originate from and why we do all love it so much ? Check out the link below to learn more!

Bright Bok Choy

Picked up fresh bright green baby boy at the farmers market and new that a homemade Asian inspired dish was on the menu!

But what is boy choy?

Bok choy is part of the cabbage family, mainly used in Chinese cuisine. They are vegetables, and they come in two different sizes, a regular and baby. The baby version I made is called Shanghai. Shanghai bok choy has wide, jade colored stalks shaped like soup spoons and has mild and sweet flavor compared to the regular version.

What I made

I made a version of a simple teriyaki chicken with baby bok choy and garlic. I love the taste of the baby bok choy since it so sweet and tender when it cooks down.

In a large bow add the Chicken breast or boneless thighs cut into small pieces 1/2 cup bottled teriyaki sauce and salt and pepper . Let marinate while the boy choy cooks through first.

Slice the 3 garlic cloves and the boy choy length wise. Saute in olive oil until soft. Add in the raw marinated chicken and sauce and mix well until chicken is done.. Serve on it’s own or with white rice.
